Our Jug Sangria

Husband brought this home from Winn-Dixie Thursday night. And I'll admit it, I laughed.

Really, a super giant jug of wine. hilarious.

But it ended up being pretty good. A nice sweet easy to drink red wine.

Plus it's 4 liters and cost right at $15. A normal bottle of wine is 750mL. That's more than 5 bottles of wine for $15.

Not too shabby. It makes a nice "second bottle"

We have friends that when we have a meal at their house we always bring a nicer bottle of wine to drink first and a cheaper one for second. When you drink the cheaper wine second it always tastes better. (truth. or as Charlie Sheen has me saying now #winning)

Sigh. I drank this in college. If we lived closer, I could show you how to hook your finger in the little holder and sling it over your shoulder to drink directly out of the jug.

Classy, I know.

Since becoming quite the wine snob after being married and making more money than I did in college, I'm not sure if I could drink Carlo anymore, unless it was already after I had been drinking something good before-hand.

Cast of Characters:

Me, Christy Ross. I like to blog. Some days I'm just trying to survive being the mom of a 6 year old and a 4 year old that never run out of energy. Other days I have loftier thoughts, like doing my part to mold them into people who are nicer, kinder and more generous than I am. Most days I'd just like a cup of coffee and 12 minutes of uninterrupted silence.

Husband. My best friend and lover of my soul. We share the same sense of humor and love of adventure. He wears a face jacket when the weather is cold and really, even when it's not cold. He brought me tulips on our first date and I ordered two desserts and no entree. It was instant love.

Daughter. She is fiercely independent and the most fun child I know. She says the most amazing things and I love knowing her. Daughter is so thoughtful and perceptive. I love catching a glimpse of the world through her eyes. She protects her brother like it's her job! Daughter loves showers, broccoli, running, dancing, hopping, zebras, and playing in the rain.

Son. He is a pint sized ball of nonstop energy. Son has a heart melting smile and a love for all sports. He loves going to the park, playing outside, nutella, the color green, helicopters, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, running, dancing, collecting rocks, and cats.
